Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in both forms of thalassemia; thalassemia major (TM) and thalassemia intermedia (TI). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the cardiopulmonary morbidities with high mortality that, if not treated, may trigger right-sided heart failure and premature death. PH is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥25 mmHg at rest or ≥30 mmHg during exercise...

Background: Uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes in truckers can negatively affect their work performance. This paper analyses the first-year data of an eye care program for truckers to assess their need for hypertension and diabetes screening. Materials and Method: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected via eye camps for truckers held between July 2017 and June 2018. Truckers wh...

Hypertensive disorders (HDs) as the most prevalent medical problem during pregnancy, predispose the patient to a lot of comorbidities and may even cause maternal or fetal death. The rate of infertility has been increasing in recent decades. So, we collected and summarized data about the co-existence of these two entities and found that HDs are somewhat more common in women receiving fertility t...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of premenstrual syndrome (pms) treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (ssri) on treatment response of refractory hypertension of the patients. method: this was a triple-blind randomized clinical trial conducted on female patients suffering from refractory hypertension and pms at the same time. we obtained informed consen...

an elevated pulmonary artery pressure (pap) from any cause is associated with increased mortality, especially in cases of primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah). one of the many reasons behind a bad prognosis is the inherent difficulty in assessing right ventricular (rv) function with reproducible methods. intensive research involving the left heart has made it relatively easy to assess ...

pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah) is a progressive disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. research has shown that pah has a prevalence rate of 10-79% in thalassemia major patients. this cross-sectional study was carried out in 2014 to determine the prevalence and risk factors of pah in all thalassemia major patients of over 18 years of age in ilam, iran. a cardiologist measured sy...

introduction: different vasoactive factors can modulate cardiovascular adaptation to hemorrhagic shock including nitric oxide (no). in this study we investigated the effect of  the no synthase inhibitor for treatment of  decompensated hemorrhagic shock in normotensive and hypertensive rats. methods: twenty‑four male wistar rats were divided into two groups: the normotensive and hypertensive gro...

hypertension after pediatric renal transplant is a common and important risk factor for graft loss and patient survival. the mechanism of post kidney transplant hypertension is complex and multifactorial. control of blood pressure in renal transplant patients is important but often times blood pressures remain uncontrolled. the management of hypertension and obesity in pediatric kidney transpla...
